Operational flexibility in water treatment
Water and energy savings | When preparing a reliable and up-to-date demand forecast, it is possible to operate machinery and plants in the utility supply section, reducing fluctuations and thus making it more efficient. This presupposes that the equipment has a wide operating range. This dual approach has been adapted in a cooperation project supported by Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU – German Federal Foundation for the Environment) and implemented using brewing liquor and process water treatment with the help of a reverse osmosis plant as an example. The main results are presented below.
